A system comprising:
- a pair of underwear or panties comprising:
- a garment-facing layer;
- and
- a wearer-facing layer;
- a sensor for detecting a change of conditions of a biological marker or a chemical marker;
- wherein a portion of the sensor has a bending stiffness of less than about 1000 N/m;
